Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  I made a custom Launcher following Jorge Castro's Guide on ask-ubuntu:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/34597/how-do-i-make-a-custom-launcher-
  for-terminal-applications.

  After placing the Launcher in ~/.local/share/applications it was
  visible in the Dash, but I could not drop it on the Launcher. After
  moving the file to /usr/share/applications this was possible.

  The bug IMHO is that now its available system wide - when in truth it
  is a customization only for my user. I consider this a security risk
  too - of course depending on the implemented feats of the custom
  Launcher.
